Hi to all,
I am not familiar with the term thermistor. I know it is some device to measure temperature though, but I have no idea if a thermistor has a positive or a negative temperature coefficient. German terms say clearly NTC (negative going) or PTC (positive going) resistance value with increasing temperature.
If a thermistor has a posivite temperature coefficient it can be replaced by any bad qualitiy carbon layer resistor which changes value considerably with increasing temperature.
So what coefficient does a thermistor normally have?
